Instructions for testing the new VOMS servers

This setup assumes that you are testing on a configured UI, and that you have your user cert all ready to go. If you can do:

voms-proxy-init --voms vo.southgrid.ac.uk

(for example) and get a SouthGrid VO proxy, then you should be able to use these files to test the other two VOMS servers without reconfiguring the UI.

Step 1

Set the X509_VOMS_DIR variable to point to the included vomsdir. E.g., if you are in the directory containing this README file:

export X509_VOMS_DIR=$(pwd)/vomsdir

Step 2

Test the Oxford VOMS server:

voms-proxy-init --debug  --vomses ./voms02/vo.southgrid.ac.uk  --voms vo.southgrid.ac.uk

(change the appropriate VO name bits to refer to a VO of which you are a member)

Step 3

Test the Imperial VOMS server:

voms-proxy-init --debug  --vomses ./voms03/vo.southgrid.ac.uk  --voms vo.southgrid.ac.uk

Step 4

Please fill in the results on the wiki page:

Finally, if you are a member of more than one of the GridPP VOMS hosted VOs, return to step 2 and repeat for the other VO(s).
